on'' to keep up the interest, but of this the
terday. between Minneapolis and Detroit
was beautiful exhibition, and gave the
3, 900 persons present plenty of opportunity
to vent their enthusiasm on both sides.
The best evidence of the character of the
game is found in the fact that Of the six
runs that Detroit scored five we're earned,

Knowlton in to pitch and Minneapolis fell
upon him for total of eleven hits. includ
ing two double baggers. two triples and a
clean home run, pilipg up twenty bases.
Besides these there were seven long flies to
the fielders. Moriarity was in the box for
Minneapolis and held the sluggers down to
the same number of hits and the same
total, including four doubles, a triple and
| four Dagger. Moriarity was little nerv-
Gus in the opening inning and four hits
| were made, but he then steadied down to
work and for six successive innings retired
! the Wolverines with blanks, and holding
| them down to three hits-aI average of
| one hit every two innings. Errors were
| remarkably few, Detroit's only one being
| Cancels failure to hold the low throw by
BrOutherS to head Moriarity off at the plate.
Fumbles by Shaw and Peak and Fosters
muff of Cancels fly were the Minneapolis
errors.

Hawes played far off second to induce

with the long hitters coming to bat it looked
as though Detroit would repeat its ST. Paul
experience and win in the ninth. Richard

| fly, which Peak nailed. Rowe followed
and quickly secured two strikes. The next
ball was an up-shOot and came just right;
there was crack and the ball went whirl-

! trotted the bases for the winning run, send
| ing Knowlton ahead of him. In all, it was
a decidedly fine game and well played.

Northwestern aggregation to defeat it.
